Hi,
out of curiosity:
what are your plans for xmlto's PDF toolchain? db2latex and dblatex
come to my mind, with the latter one packaged by me. Naturally I would
like to see dblatex integrated into xmlto :-)
No intention (and necessity) to exclude db2latex, as xmlto's upstream
author explicitly encourages configurability for different PDF
toolchains [1].
Regards, Andreas
